“The Naked Truth Project by @forthebreastofus is a photo gallery that not only showcases imagery of women of color affected by breast cancer, but also shares their unique perspective on their post-cancer bodies. It was created to share photos that women of color have been desperately seeking for decades— that validates a variety of our experiences without judgement.
We wanted to create something special where women of all ages and cancer stages could stand firm in their own strength or sorrow about the changes happening to their bodies after a breast cancer diagnosis. We always tell women that reconnecting with our bodies after a traumatic experience is an important, and often overlooked, aspect of mental health for cancer survivors. It’s not vain to care about how your body looks after treatment and 'normal' is however you feel! We promise there’s someone out there who feels the exact same way.”
Featuring the beautiful @_estrogendepleted_, we sat down with the founders of For the Breast of Us, @bravebeauty26 and @marissadt28 to talk about the amazing community they created.
